Club 156

The Best Little Venue in Boulder The Who, The Rolling Stones, Van Halen and The Grateful Dead have all appeared on Folsom Field in the heyday of rock.

The University of Colorado at Boulder’s Program Council has a history of presenting incredible artists that pass through the Front Range area. Paramore, Nirvana, the Foo Fighters and Phish, however, are among the bands that have rocked out in Club 156. As much as the music and Program Council staff has changed over the years, Club 156 has remained a constant fixture, searching for the cutting edge

of new acts, spanning every musical genre, and bringing them right to campus. Just as much as the music is underground, so is the Club itself. The Westword describes it as, “a bizarre little world in the bowels of the UMC”, which is about an accurate location description as any. Entering The Connection on the first floor of the central hub on campus, one might be distracted by the pizazz of Boulder’s only bowling alley, but Club 156 is in there too, off to the right, displaying Duran Audio Axys Mini-Arena Loudspeakers and a 32 channel Midas Venice for the front of house. Which means, it might get loud. In the summer of 2011, Production Manager Erin Kean installed a brand new, top of the line lighting rig, consisting of 32 LED cans and 8 elation moving lights, controlled by one of the most advanced lighting consoles in the world. What this means for fans of eclectic stage performances is that there’s no better small venue to be blown away visually. The 25-year-old Club 156 can fit a crowd of 155, either jumping to electronic/rock or sitting comfortably for an acoustic/folk show. Known as Quigley’s until 1991, Club 156 continues a long standing tradition, much like Program Council itself. Hosting alternative dance parties in the late eighties with KUCB (now known as Radio 1190/KVCU), the little venue that could is looking to bring back something similar with a game plan of bi-weekly electronic DJ sets. And the best thing: you never know when a band you see in Club 156 will appear in the next big festival or amphitheater. FOR BOOKING INQUIREIES EMAIL [email protected]
